Amazing video. I am a Nio investor here in the states and heavily agree with the ideas around battery swapping. Adoption will come to Evs once it's convenient as has stations! Thank you for sharing!
I'm on board. I agree that NIO, has awesome technology. I'm averaging in on the Stock. I first started purchasing when it was much higher, so I think it is a steal at the current price. People in the 60s & 70s thought we would never by into a Japanese company (Toyota and Subaru). I think the same mindset is what Nio is going through right now. I expect Nio to be a huge player int he World EV Market.
It felt like, i was experiencing a live tour. A modern car factory with 360 degree view is the best thing to watch on youtube.. 😇😇.. Keep creating these 360 videos 👍👍
Wow that was brilliant! Thank you for taking the time to do this, and for doing it in 360, something I've not seen or used for some time. Really good factory tour, its absolutely fascinating to see the architecture of the buildings (NIO house looks really impressive) and my goodnes the sheer size and scale of the factory! 1300 robots! I was surprised how clean and quiet it was too. Please do more of these, they're absolutely superb!
Fun video. Infectious enthusiasm. Like a kid in a Chocolate factory. I think a lot of EV enthusiasts are also general technology enthusiasts, so talking about the architecture and sustainability side was interesting. NIO is my favourite EV brand, period. Primarily because of the battery swapping approach. I don't think they need to roll out battery swapping stations. All they need is to have swapping stations at their repair centres.
I've got one. I was nervous to begin with, but it's holding up pretty well 15 months down the line. (Except for the warped undertray from new, but I'm booked in for a fix for that.)
@@jkuntz67 I'll go further. Last year I was at Everything Electric London where test drives were being offered by the dozen. I got to drive a Tesla MY and A BYD Seal. They were different but both had their attractions. The BYD was softer and cosier, and they MY was sportier with better handling. I preferred the MY but the Seal really nice. I could easily make that car my daily drive. Mind you, the Xpeng P7 really quickens my heart.
I been a NIO investor since IPO. And considerable amount of time as a NIO influencer of my own doing. People doubt NIO but experiencing this showcases our commitment to success I head to NeoPark soon
Love the 360 content Elliot. It was great until I figured out I could stand up and just move my iPad around to view all areas and then it became fantastic. I would love to see more content like this.
This is absolutely brilliant. I am tired of all the racist anti-Chinese commentary - it is becoming obvious to me that China and Korea are leaving the USA and Europe EV production in the dust. The quality looks amazing.
Wow! Haven’t watched a 360 video before and it’s amazing on my big screen TV. Also amazing factory and this was the tonic I needed given the US and Musk situation getting me down. Thanks Elliot!
They (them again) said the same about Nissan and Toyota, I’m sure the BBC did a documentary about it during the 80s ( along the lines of how wrong this perception was and European manufacturers better take note)
Elliot I’ve always enjoyed your videos on the FC channel, but this was a step up in content. Really got the impression that you were enjoying a bit of editorial freedom.
Clearly they have an unfair advantage (spending money where they should, instead of share buyback schemes to benefit senior mgt), we can’t allow this .. quick, slap on a 100% tariff, so legacy OEMs can continue their same poor management and to stop motorists around the world seeing how good competition can benefit them.
The 360 camera and ability to scan around yourself is an amazing new facility that suits such presentations very well. I wonder how soon it will be before other CZcamsrs use this same tech.
This is the future of vehicle manufacturing, the factory was so orderly, quiet and clean, you look at the American car factories they are dirty, dark and super noisy, the West can't compete with the Chinese efficiencies, they just know how to make things quicker, cheaper and at the same or better quality, just their software still needs some work.
Are you JOKING ??? ( About Chinese Quality). TESLA Buyers in the US ...Insist/Prefer their EV to come from CHINA Shanghai Giga Factory. However due to unilateral Additional TAXES being imposed for Chinese Made Tesla ...... Tesla Buyers have to Put Up with "US quality" EVs.
Nice video, Chinese car manufacturing has come a long way in a short time. I am, however, surprised no one asked if you were paid by the CCP for the positive comments.
Watched the video in a Quest 3 headset and got that up close feeling without actually being there. Wish the quality was better, but I know that's a CZcams limitation. In the future I would suggest not to pan the video since that's kind of disorienting while in VR...🤪
I know you concentrate more on technology, design etc, but what about the *business* of producing EVs? NIO seems a really impressive company, making very good cars, but don’t you agree the fact they have never been profitable (yet) is also really important?
Seriously…wtf are people talking about profit. Still a fairly young company and they are branching their tentacles out. Envo sub brand begins deliveries in September, Firefly to launch next year. It’s instant gratification or nothing with you young folk these days. Patience is a virtue. Remember that.
Top quality manufacturing . Probably better than the European Vehicle manufacturing. Only problem is though , The availability of spare parts when required .!
do you think if someone builds a factory worth $ 7 bill , the company will not provide spare parts?? ofcourse they will..if you mean if they are outside of china, if through an official dealer, im sure they will have spare parts..just like any legacy carmaker ..if you take the risk and import a chinese car without a dealer being available in your country, then naturally it is a risk you are taking...
I initially tried watching this on a TV and just got a weird fisheye view. People do that still sometimes 😂. However, once transferred to iPad 360 interactivity initiated! That factory is immense and the quality control seems top notch. I get all the green initiatives which are great but how big must the construction carbon footprint be? Immense amounts of concrete and steel used plus all the probably non zero emission plant used. Hopefully it’s there for the long haul and the carbon savings from the 1 million/year zero emission vehicles recover the factory footprint in a timely manner?
14:20 technically the most sustainable way is to use public transportation like high speed pan country train (I hope their implementation grows more than its now in china) and people don't have to rely on individual EVs for transportation Also Ev buses,trams for intra city transportation.
This video sounds like a NIO commercial, l think most pepole know Chinese cars are well built now, it is more the European prices and some European custom software that is less in your face that is the pain points
I doubt many realize how many Chinese made vehicle parts are found in vehicles built in 9ther countries. China is massive and has many builders. Just like any other large group, some will be terrible and others amazing. For me, I am more impressed with mass production at low cost and high quality. Sure, it is fun to see the craxy expensive vehicles and those are often high quality, but it easier to build high quality if you are able to charge the consumer high dollars. NIO still pushing battery swap feels like they are too derply invested in it to stop doing it. The pace of battery tech improvement keeps lowering any need for battery swaps like this. Sure, if a battery goes bad, it is nice to be able to easily swap it, but that is rare. The cost and upkeep of swap stations has to be higher than just charging stations. I wish NIO all the best. Consumers need choices and multiple companies fighting for their money. Nice job on the video.
Battery swapping is ideal for dense city environments where you don’t have personal chargers at your home. Battery swapping is and always has been meant to be a supplement to charging piles..which, by the way, NIO has the most charging piles in China. If only people did their DD on NIO. It’s a shame. Wonderful company.
@Mathias04 I did not say NIO was a bad company, I just disagree with battery swap. In dense cities, charging stations have been installed in a wide variety of places. In Hong Kong, San Francisco, and other dense cities, parking garages at malls and other businesses. In London they are testing small chargers that pop out of the ground along the sidewalk where vehicles park. These are all places where the massive swap station could not fit. Stick your "DD" comment in the garbage. Charging stations are cheaper to install, fit just about anywhere and definitely in places where NIO swap stations would never fit.
Great video experience. Fantastic insights. Amazing that you got the permission to filming inside the F2. The first NIO factory i visited 2019 is not even much less automated. 🪫🔁🔋🏁
With 360 view, this is a modern car factory tour like no other. Such an immersive experience. I feel like I was there in person.

Yeah, I hear every day, comments that suggest Chinese quality is not there. Total rubbish. Sit in one. Drive one. Your mind will change.
I've got one. I was nervous to begin with, but it's holding up pretty well 15 months down the line. (Except for the warped undertray from new, but I'm booked in for a fix for that.)

Glad you liked it! Was my first time too and I think it gives such a good insight
Wow, a really immersive experience. Please do more, especially when you do interior reviews of cars.
Great idea!
Great stuff, love your 360 view. I think I have to re-watch it 360 times!
What NIO is doing is just amazing, love their tech and design.

Owning 730 Shares of this company and now buying more, wish I had more money.... imagine the company in next 10 years.. wow!!

NIO’s management is corrupted too. It is just the domestic competition pushed them to advance.
@@RuohongZhao Hey Taiwanese, why do you put your family name last? Are you a banana-ese?
@@RuohongZhaoand how is NIO’s management corrupt?

6:55 entering the future, akin to witnessing the Star Trek Enterprise NCC-1701 construction. 😁
Did I detect something of, if not entirely, Tesla's unboxing process even before Tesla has done it?
Elliot, truly an eye-opener. Great job, mate.

Thank you for your excellent video of this 360° tour. Just subscribed as a little compensation for your effort. Keep on making such content.
Thanks for the sub!
My first 360 video. Very cool! Love Nio!
This doesn't look like a failing company. Quite the contrary.

🤔1MM annual capacity (after 3 phase buildout of Neo Park w/ double shifts in operation)? Thanks Elliot!
really cool camera! and wow what a factory!
Great video. Thanks you very much !!
That was an amazing video! It was a great tour of NIOs plant. Really awesome. Great job!
amazing 360 view!!!
Great video! Love all the sustainability effort too
Awesome, hey Eric there too :)
Thanks for sharing the experience!!! Great job!!!
The best video ever, thank you so much.
Awesome!! Keep em' Coming!! Thanks Elliot!!
👍
Love the 360, more pls 😂
I see Eric
Go. NIO🚀🚀🚀🔥🔥🔥
Nio . . . Wow Amazing
Wow this was very cool 😮 thx
Watched the video in a Quest 3 headset and got that up close feeling without actually being there. Wish the quality was better, but I know that's a CZcams limitation. In the future I would suggest not to pan the video since that's kind of disorienting while in VR...🤪
Did you say NIO can prudoce up to 1million EV a year? Which mean they can deliver about 80k cars?
very nice!
Great stuff! What model of camera was this shot on?
Great video! Thanks!
Es könnte locker bei VW,Audi, Skoda sein…die Prozesse…die Abläufe…alles gleich…
Ist das gut oder schlecht?
When you have a purpose built EV factory its superior in every way.
perfect!! love it!!
I know you concentrate more on technology, design etc, but what about the *business* of producing EVs? NIO seems a really impressive company, making very good cars, but don’t you agree the fact they have never been profitable (yet) is also really important?
It took Tesla to turn a profit.
It took Tesla 17 years before it was profitable.

BUY BUY BUY NOW!!!
Woooow🎉🎉🎉
Sorry but I am not a fan of the "all glass roof"
amazing
What does F2 mean?
Factory 2 - their second factory.

What camera did you use please
Insta 360
WTF? The 360° doesn't work during the adverts! FAIL!
14:20 technically the most sustainable way is to use public transportation like high speed pan country train (I hope their implementation grows more than its now in china) and people don't have to rely on individual EVs for transportation
Also Ev buses,trams for intra city transportation.
Tried to look around. Not sure it works.
top left corner under youtube logo
@@saleh45251 or just click and drag, or if on a mobile device, then simply move the device
It would be good to see how the factory deals with spare parts orders to the rest of the world .
Ie Philippines Australia etc .
china, different and better
This video sounds like a NIO commercial, l think most pepole know Chinese cars are well built now, it is more the European prices and some European custom software that is less in your face that is the pain points
I doubt many realize how many Chinese made vehicle parts are found in vehicles built in 9ther countries.
China is massive and has many builders. Just like any other large group, some will be terrible and others amazing.

@Mathias04 I did not say NIO was a bad company, I just disagree with battery swap.
In dense cities, charging stations have been installed in a wide variety of places. In Hong Kong, San Francisco, and other dense cities, parking garages at malls and other businesses. In London they are testing small chargers that pop out of the ground along the sidewalk where vehicles park.
These are all places where the massive swap station could not fit. Stick your "DD" comment in the garbage. Charging stations are cheaper to install, fit just about anywhere and definitely in places where NIO swap stations would never fit.
I think the upgradeable battery flexibility is not fully recognised yet.
Good video but worst stock in all WS 😢
Boycott China
Only Japan makes high quality cars
Unwatchable.
definitely sponsored video!
Great video experience. Fantastic insights. Amazing that you got the permission to filming inside the F2. The first NIO factory i visited 2019 is not even much less automated. 🪫🔁🔋🏁
